Using the onscreen keyboard

When you close the hardware QWERTY, you can still enter text using the onscreen keyboard. Some applications open the onscreen keyboard automatically. In others, you touch a text field where you want to enter text to open the onscreen keyboard.

You can also enter text by speaking instead of by typing. See “Using your voice to enter text” on page 47.

Touch once to capitalize the next letter you type. Touch & hold for all caps.
